ASUS ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 OC, ROG-STRIX-RTX2070-O8G-GAMING, 8GB GDDR6, 2x HDMI, USB-C, 2x DP

Die GeForce RTX 2070 ist aktuell die preiswerteste RTX-Grafikkarte, doch wo ordnet sie sich leistungstechnisch ein? Wir haben die Grafikkarte auf Basis des Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 2070 OC Custom Designs getestet.

Die ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 ROG STRIX OC GAMING ist für knapp 620€ erhältlich und damit fast so teuer wie die RTX2080. Allerdings hat die Karte auch Einiges zu bieten. Da wäre der leise Kühler, der im Regelbetrieb nicht laut wird und das vorhandene Übertaktungspotenzial. Die Temperaturen befinden sich im Normalbetrieb und OC noch im grünen Bereich.

Für Einstiegspreise unter 550 Euro sind entsprechende Geforce RTX 2070 auf jeden Fall einen Blick wert, gerade weil die Geforce GTX 1080 bald vom Markt verschwinden dürfte. Neben einer ähnlichen Leistung haben die RTX-Karten überdies Raytracing- und DLSS-Unterstützung, wenngleich sich beide Funktionen abseits von Techdemos noch nicht ausprobieren lassen. Dennoch: Diese Turing-Karte ist ihr Geld wert.

Die Asus GeForce RTX 2070 Strix OC ist besser als die Asus GeForce RTX 2070 Turbo. Das Premium-Modell liefert fast zehn Prozent mehr Geschwindigkeit und ist damit schneller unterwegs als ein Premium-Modell der Vorgängergeneration GeForce GTX 1080. Gleichzeitig enteilt sie einer guten Radeon RX Vega 64 um zehn Prozent.

The ASUS GeForce RTX 2070 STRIX OC comes with a medium-sized overclock out of the box, which yields an additional 3% performance—not a lot. This seems to be a common theme with Turing, overclocked versions really aren't significantly faster than the Founders Edition due to how the power limits work, but more on that later. Compared to the GTX 1080, the RTX 2070 STRIX OC is 20% faster, and the GTX 1080 Ti is 6% ahead; the RTX 2080 comes with a 16% performance uplift. AMD's fastest, the Radeon RX Vega 64, is around 20% slower, with much more power draw, heat, and noise at the same time. With these performance characteristics, we can recommend the RTX 2070 for 1440p highest details gaming.

I've stated this before and from the entire RTX range with the three product lines released in my opinion, the GeForce RTX 2070 overall makes the most sense. Combined with Raytracing we, however, doubt it'll be a fast enough card in the Ultra HD range. Then again, if you drop regular AA, choose DLSS you'll benefit from an extra kick in performance, that you can trade in for RT. The future will, however, tell how that is going to pan out. For this conclusion, I am going to focus on what ASUS brought to the table. ASUS does well with the STRIX series, the cooler has that all familiar design and looks. ASUS delivers a really good product here with that excellent cooler and dark style as well. It's really silent, cools great and offers performance and tweaking levels on the GPU that are really good. Typically the more value products (if you allow me to use that phrase for in this context), could be doubled up in performance with the help of SLI, however, NVIDIA ripped that out of 2070, it has no NVLINK and you will not see any AIB cards supporting SLI. The RTX 2070 will perform roughly at and just above that GTX 1080 level, that in respect is not a bad proposition. Pricing is high for this model and will sit in the 599 USD range, however, due to shortages, that is looking like a 699 USD price tag right now, which obviously is just too much. From a hardware point of view though, the card ticks a lot of the boxes you need it to tick. It is a lovely product, a top pick even, however, am separating that award from the current street sales price tag.
